Putting people into binary categories is a social convention, generally imposed historically by Judeo-Christian culture. Other cultures, for example, Native Americans, have often recognised multiple genders. http://scienceblogs.com/pharyngula/2015/02/18/the-idea-of-two-sexes-is-simplistic-biologists-now-think-there-is-a-wider-spectrum-than-that/ Can I identify as a helicopter then? The people on good morning Britain identified as an owl and fox respectively. I'll make a big deal now and send a petition to parliament, why aren't there any toilets for us helicopters?

Helicopter and elephant aren't really on the spectrum of gender identities which the human brain serves up. You can have male, female, bit of both, somewhere in between or neither. I believe Fox and Owl were merely names, not genders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are males and females end of. 2 people appeared on good morning Britain the other day and got involved in a heated debate with piers Morgan. They identified themselves as "non binary" and identified themselves as a fox and an owl. http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/article/36120876/why-i-came-out-to-president-obama-before-i-told-my-parents. Here's an article I found about someone who bravely came out as non binary. To be fair, she does look like a bloke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sith Happens Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 On the subject of 'sexes' this http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/fashion/woman-asda-jumper-complaint-boys-will-be-boys-gender-stereotype-identity-a7740156.html Outrage at sexist jumper in Asda.. I am clearly old fashioned even in my 40's to think this is pathetic, do these people who complain about stuff like this expressing 'outrage' just spend their time looking for something to be outraged about. What next...maybe shops should start selling gender neutral clothing for children. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its only happened once as far as I can tell and it's about otherkins and non-binary types. I don't know what makes the holy sanctity of these people so special but **** em I say. They're annoying. ? In 245 pages I'm pretty sure there has been more than 1 occurrence of someone trying to argue against another.s annoyance Maybe not many as for the most part it's just petty annoyances about every day life, but as far as I can tell this is not "random things that bring out the bigot in me" thread. If someone posted "tell you what annoys me - black people" would you not expect them to be called out? I guess you just like to mock people who have mental health issues, in particular the way they cope. If its the choice between someone being so tormented by their sexuality that they kill themselves, or they come to terms with where they sit on the gender spectrum - you'd advocate for the suicide everytime because - hey one less "otherkins" for me to be annoyed by Nice McRainy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LesterRam Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 I love unisex toilets me, I never use urinals because I usually take my lad in with me and its easier to share a cubicle, my missus usually takes a good 20 mins cuing for Loo's and the gents are empty, makes sense to me.

Chester40 Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Shall I try to get us on back on track? The current media-driven trend for feminising men..and trying to convince them that 'makeup' is not just for women. Men do not wear foundation, or guy-liner etc. Having your eyebrows shaped is a no-no and whitening your teeth is border line! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ewe Ram Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Baggage handlers. I really wish we could be confident of packing things that would actually arrive in the same state that we put them in the case. This time they surpassed themselves and completely trashed the case rendering it useless and a chunk of my holiday cash had to go on a replacement. In no other place could you see customer's property being abused so blatantly Bridgford Ram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
